Lyrics
(chorus)
Chorus
A million years ago!
A reference to a distant past, emphasizing a long time ago
I headed down the road
The speaker started a journey down a path or road
A million years ago!
Reiteration of the distant past and the journey
I headed down
Continuation of the journey
Drivin for the south
Driving towards the south
Nowhere down
Heading to an unspecified destination
I got the news
Learning some news
I figured it out
Understanding or solving a situation
A secret search
A secretive investigation or exploration
When at last
Finally
A shrunked mooose
A playful reference to a "shrunked moose" (possible metaphor or symbolism)
We could use
The discovery of something useful
Since we found
Confirmation of finding something
Said no big deal
Downplaying the significance of the discovery
Next time we leave
Planning for the next departure
Watchin them go
Observing others leave
(chorus)
Chorus
Five months still..now our turnJust like before
Five months have passed, and now it's their turn, repeating a similar situation
It broke in two....straight to earth
Something significant or important has broken or failed, heading straight to earth
Or so we thought
Uncertainty about the outcome or events
The so-line read...like it shouldOf course we knew
Reading a signal or information, knowing what to expect
We left a trail....there was no sign
Leaving a trace or mark with no clear indication
They went through.....
They have gone through a situation
Green lights were beginning to fade
Indication of a fading situation or opportunity
Chevelle runnin' were on our way
A reference to a Chevelle running, suggesting momentum or progress
Straight at us from either side
A potential threat or challenge from both sides
Looks like we'll run it one more time!
Planning to face the challenge again
(chorus)
